You are on the right track but doing something wrong:
You are correctly assigning a string to an array:
//Main Menu Array
$main_menu[0] = "Menu 1"; //Represents the name of the menu
But then you are taking that string one character at a time and replacing it
with invalid data:
//Menu 1 Array
$main_menu[0][0] = "Test 1";
$main_menu[0][1] = "Test 2";
$main_menu[0][2] = "Test 3";
$main_menu[0][3] = "Test 4";
The result is
echo $main_menu[0]
prints: TTTT4
This is doing exactly what you are asking it to do. Create an array then
one character at a time replace it with with the first character in the
provided string.
You would be better of doing this:
$main_menu[0][] = "Title of the Menu";
$main_menu[0][] = "Test 1";
$main_menu[0][] = "Test 2";
$main_menu[0][] = "Test 3";
$main_menu[0][] = "Test 4";
That way element [0] will always be the title and all following values will
be elements in that menu.
If you do the above, then type:
echo count($mail_menu[0]);
It will return 5. This whole thing about recursive funcions to count
multiple dimensional arrays that don't really exist is incorrect. The
count() function will work fine in your example, just build your
multi-dimensional array correctly. If you need to count the all the
elements in a multi-dimensional array then you will need to write a function
that is recursive, but you shouldn't need to iterate through each element
incrementing a counter to do so. Just use count(). It works fine on
multi-dimensional arrays.

Subject: [PHP] Multi Dimensional Arrays?
Hello,
I am working on a menu script that I wanted to use multi-dimensional arrays
for.
Here is the conf file I have:
//Main Menu Array
$main_menu[0] = "Menu 1"; //Represents the name of the menu
//Menu 1 Array
$main_menu[0][0] = "Test 1";
$main_menu[0][1] = "Test 2";
$main_menu[0][2] = "Test 3";
$main_menu[0][3] = "Test 4";
When I try to us count like:
$count = count($main_menu[0]);
I only get 1. My question is how do I count a multi dimensional array.
Thanks for the help,
Brandon
